- A smalltime drug dealer working for the Kingpin, Nino Cortese associated with
several criminals at the Hawk Hill Social Club. Cortese decided to sell on his
own after Daredevil (Matt Murdock) took the Kingpin down. Cortese was approached
by the psychotic Owl, who ordered Miller to pay cuts to the Owl or face the
consequences.

(Daredevil I#301) - Cortese
approached two young girls at a Manhattan night club. Flirting, he learned their
names were Ginny and Jess and he offered them a hit outside. Laying a line on
his Corvette for each of them, Nino was shocked when Daredevil scared them off,
hitting his car with a billy club. Cortese went running, but Daredevil caught
him and told him about all the murders the Owl had committed. The Owl then
arrived and Daredevil yelled for Cortese to run for it.

(Daredevil I#302) - While
trying to run, Cortese dropped his keys and Daredevil narrowly saved him from
being impaled. Soon, despite the Owl being stuck to his car via his claws,
Cortese drove the Corvette away at full speed. The Owl climbed up the car and
nearly killed Cortese, but Daredevil narrowly saved him again. Cortese’s car
spiraled out of control and crashed through a window before falling a few
stories and landing in a mall fountain. Daredevil barely managed to get Cortese
out of the car before it exploded and Cortese was soon arrested.

- Mobster Peter London got a hold of Nino and convinced him, by binding him in
chains and hanging him from the ceiling, to act as bait for the Owl.

(Daredevil I#303) - Nino
went to sell guns to the Die Hards gang (including Julie) while Daredevil
watched form the side. When the Owl approached, Daredevil tossed Nino into a
passing garbage truck to keep him safe.
